Story of the Buddha

For six long years, Siddhartha endured many form of ascetic practices, until he finally realized that The Middle Path was the answer.

Cultivation is like playing a musical string instrument. The string will snap if it is too tight or not make any noise if it is too loose. Indulgence in sensual pleasure or extreme penance are attachments. Be at peace with the Middle Path for achieving the liberation of body and mind.
